Taking a train from Bratislava to Tatranska is a popular way to get between the two locations!
Firstly, you’ll need to make sure you have the right tickets. You can purchase them online or visit a ticket office at the train station in Bratislava. Once you have your tickets, you can board your first train.
The first train you’ll take is the train towards Košice, which will take you from Bratislava to Poprad. This journey takes around 4 to 5 hours and the station where you’ll board is Bratislava Central Station. You’ll need to make sure you get off at the correct station, so keep an eye out for the signs and check the ticket.
Once you arrive in Poprad, you need to switch to the second train, which is one of the OS trains directed towards Štrbské Pleso. This train will take you from Poprad to Starý Smokovec. The journey takes around 25 minutes, and the station you’ll be departing from is Poprad-Tatry.
Finally, the third and last train you’ll take is also an OS train, which will take you from Starý Smokovec to your final destination. This journey takes around 15 minutes, and will only pass through a total of 4 other stations.
Tickets are priced at €16.34 for a ticket for all three of the trains, meaning you don’t have to buy a separate one for each. It is recommended to book online, and then you can also reserve seats and change class (for an extra cost, if desired).
Travel Tip: Slovakian rail provides discounts for travels over 60 kilometres, meaning for this trip you are eligible, head to their website to find out more.

As this journey covers multiple kilometres, it is only to be expected that the bus ride will be very long. There is currently only one provider who services this specific route, namely Flixbux. You can catch the bus from the Bratislava AS Mlynske Nivy station, with a very affordable ticket of just €25 euros. From there, prepare for an 8 hour journey to your destination.
There will be only 1 stop along the way, in Poprad, where you will need to catch another bus to Tatranska Lomnica. Unfortunately, this bus departs three hours later than arrival, so you will have the chance to look around Poprad.
Travel Tip: You may need to purchase additional luggage space if you are travelling with this option.

The distance between the two is 250 kilometres as the crow flies. The distance will be greater when travelling by train, bus or car.
Booking a private transfer from Bratislava to Tatranska Lomnica is the best option for a comfortable and stress-free journey. Although it may be an expensive option, the advantages of a private transfer are numerous.
A private transfer guarantees an experienced driver dedicated solely to you and your group, meaning you will be able to travel directly from your pickup point to the desired destination with no need to worry about any connections. The driver is also a great source of knowledge and more than happy to offer advice on the best local sites and routes.
Private transfers are also known for their top-notch security and comfort; they feature a luxurious interior and offer the convenience of air conditioning and other amenities. Furthermore, private transfers can often be tailored to the wishes of the passengers, whether that be the type of vehicle or the time of departure.
